Synergetic mining and cavity synergetic utilization

Two new ideas about synergetic mining conception and cavity synergetic utilization were systematically discussed in this paper. Firstly, a new scientific proposition of synergetic mining was put forward on introducing the concept of synergism after the current harmonic mining conceptions of none-waste mining, harmonized mining, green mining, mining environment reconstructing were put in order. The clear definition of synergetic mining was given firstly. The relationship of the synergetic mining and the above conceptions and its coupling property were analyzed. Secondly, guided by synergetic mining conception, "synergetic utilization" cavity processing method was proposed from harmonizing resources mining on the basis of mining layout in mine engineering system. Some basic principles and the basic modes of cavity synergetic utilization were established. The new ideas have the important academic study value and engineering value. They would have important and profound effects on the progress of mining science and technology.
